Words cannot express how fabulous my wedding turned out! To be transparent, I knew it would turn…read moreout fabulous, but the venue itself really helped in that department. It was literally everything I imagined and MORE! The customer service...PHENOMENAL! The food....PHENOMENAL! The decor....PHENOMENAL! The venue itself....PHENOMENAL! Key word here is...PHENOMENAL!!! One of the reasons we booked this venue is because it's literally a one stop shop. They do the catering, the cake, the tablecloths/place setting, bar, the set-up and clean-up! Of course we had a florist, dj, 360 Photo Booth and other crowd pleasers, but the bulk of the items that were required were provided by the venue. The Villa provides a day-of planner, which she was absolutely helpful and knowledgeable, but I wanted someone who knew me personally to advocate for me. I hired another coordinator to be my liaison for the day. I would suggest you do the same, if you're getting married. It's just good to have someone that knows you or will advocate for you when you need them. I had a few hiccups during my wedding day and expressed my concerns to management the day after. The professionalism and courtesy they provided us was extremely appreciative. From start to finish, my wedding coordinator explained everything, responded to all 5 million of my emails - in a very timely manner. Anything we were confused or didn't understand, was thoroughly explained. My original coordinator left her position, but Tracy stepped right in with both feet on the ground. If you're on the fence, give this venue a try. We had our wedding in the tent, which I believe is called the Renaissance Room. The location was perfect, the serving staff were awesome and we just had a knock down, drag out time! People are still talking about my perfect day!

I will admit that I was scared that I had signed a contract with this company after coming to my beloved Yelp! I was reading the comments like oh geez I'm gonna need a vodka. Lol! But seriously. I think that for all the bad reviews they haven't gotten the reputation of good service they deserve! I'm impressed! I cannot think of a better spot or company that I could have chosen for my event. The cakes are to die for and the food was right on! We tried to lie to Shonda, we said we didn't like our food but since there was nothing on the plate she knew we were lying. A girl was just trying to get seconds! It was a tasting... can you blame me for trying???? Overall, my experience with Jeff has been amazing. Shonda is a doll and I can't wait for my event! They literally do it all! All you have to do is show up and show out! Boom! I will be yelping my venue location day of. Cheers... hire them and thank me later!

She helped us navigate all the questions of planning a wedding, and was always ready to jump in for us. She was flexible with our rehearsal too, as we weren't able to have it at the venue due to scheduling reasons, but she was happy to have it elsewhere and work with us. She was very communicative and easy to talk to, and quick to answer all the last minute questions and soothe the final anxieties as we got closer to the day (and there were many, as the forecast was looking quite stormy in the final week--thankfully the rain held off!). She kept us as calm as possible. On the actual day, she was worth her weight in gold, helping to manage everything and make sure it ran as smoothly as it could. We had a small issue with our shuttle vendor, which I didn't know about until it was handled and dealt with, all thanks to Amy. She made sure we knew what we needed to, and that we weren't bothered by the details we didn't need to know. I can whole heartedly recommend Amy for anyone planning a wedding!

Before I hired her she quoted me one price on the phone then at our sit down she started adding charges here and there. But I was so excited it didn't matter. And I started to get nervous when she would cancel our meetings; one was a few hours before. But things really turned stressful when I started to request pictures of items she wanted to purchase and a time frame of when things would be completed. With the wedding so close, she did not respond in a timely manner. When she did return my calls she actually said "I apologize, I am extremely busy with events from Thursday through Saturday. I nearly lost my mind. This is one of the biggest days of my life and the person I trusted with my wedding dreams was putting my needs on the back burner, and she thought this was appropriate behavior. Her lack of communication and follow up put stress on me and my fiancé, because we had no idea what was going on. After that conversation I was not confident in her services, so I terminated our agreement and requested our money back. I got no response. After I posted a negative review on another site she finally emailed stating she would refund part of our money and receipt for what she claimed she purchased. I responded that whatever she purchased with our money belongs to us. After a few back and forth emails she has agreed to refund us our full deposit. I will update soon with a status. 10/29/2017 Update...Nakia has not refunded the $1000.00 deposit as she agreed to , nor has she responded to our phone calls, texts or emails!

I found Silvia to be responsive, talented, and very accomodating - which is important when trying to make your vision for an event a reality. We had a Black and White Bowtie theme for the party and Silvia was not only a wizard with the balloons, but she helped me with the flower arrangements and set up (guest tables, candy bar, cake table, signage, balloons.) and tear down as well. Honestly, I don't know how I could have pulled off the event without her. There was nothing event related that she could not help with herself. Other Event Planners that I spoke to were merely prepared to coordinate (help me find a florist, a baloon person, decorator, etc) and were not really hands on or able to provide any real value themselves. Silvia will not only plan your event but will put the finishing touches on it by hand if necessary as well. She is a very classy lady and you will love working with her!
